The trouble with statements like this is that they
create an infinite regress. The realization that
any thought is a viewpoint is *itself* a viewpoint.
And if it's "true" that we become addicted if we take
our thoughts too seriously, we should presumably
therefore not take too seriously the thought that if
we take our thoughts too seriously, we become addicted
